Chef's Notes

  • Use this vinaigrette as a marinade for fish, beef, or other recipes where you would like to add an Asian flavor. Multiply this recipe by 3 or 4 if using a traditional Vitamix container.  We are using dates in this recipe to add a little sweetness to the vinaigrette instead of granulated sugar.
